Summary

East Side Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Edinburgh, Indiana, serving 382 students as part of Edinburgh Community School Corp, a district in a small community southeast of Indianapolis.

The school's state ranking has slipped over the past decade. In 2016–17 it ranked 375th of 1,033 Indiana elementary schools (64th percentile, 3 stars), but by 2025–26 it ranked 746th of 1,015 (27th percentile, 1 star), and it has held a 1-star rating since 2020–21. Reading is the clearest weakness: all-grade English Language Arts proficiency was 24.55% in 2025–26, the lowest among the ten nearby schools and below its own district average. Fourth- and fifth-grade ELA were especially low at 18.6% and 20.34%, against a state average of 42.2% for both grades. Math and Science are relative bright spots — 31.74% and 37.21% — above the district average and improving in Math over the past three years, though still behind most nearby schools such as Parkside Elementary School and CSA Lincoln Campus, which posts 74.4% ELA and 74.88% Math.

Attendance stands out as the biggest concern. Chronic absenteeism was 29.8% in 2024–25 — the highest among nearby schools, well above the district's 25.2%, and nearly double the state's 16.7%; Taylorsville Elementary School, with a similar poverty rate, was at 13.3%. About 61.52% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and per-student spending of $9,618 is the lowest among nearby schools, though the student–teacher ratio of 14.1 is the smallest. High need, low funding, high absenteeism, and low reading scores together make improvement difficult.
